Leach Distributors packages and distributes industrial supplies A standard shipment can be packaged in a class A container, a class K container, or a class T container A single class A container yields a profit of $10; a class K container, a profit of 58, and a class T container, a profit of $12. Each shipment prepared requires a certain amount of packing material and a certain amount of time. Formulate and solve this problem using LP software. Resources Needed per Standard Shipment Class of Container Number of class A containers to be used Number of class K containers to be used A K T Total amount of resource available per week Packing Material (pounds) 2 1 3 120 pounds 210 hours Hugh Leach, head of the firm, must decide the optimal number of each class of container to pack each week. He is bound by the previously mentioned resource restrictions but also decides that he must keep his 6 full-time packers employed all 210 hours (6 workers x 35 hours) each week The optimal solution obtained by solving using LP software Number of class T containers to be used Optimal solution value= (round your response to two decimal pièces) (round your response to two decimal places). (round your response to two decimal place (round your response to two decimal places) Packing Time (hours) 2 6 4
